My application is a spring boot and angular 5 with angular as dependency added into spring boot app, Packaging is like
Backend Jar:
The angular app jar in in BackendJar\BOOT-INF\lib\angularapp.jar
The application loads the home page on load home(/) no problem here but here I have a scenario where I need to navigate to home (/) when some condition is met in controller, like below:
@RequestMapping(value="/",method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getUser(HttpServletRequest request) {
if(request.getHeader("USER")=="something") {
return "home"; //return Home page
} else {
return "error"; //error page here
}
}
But spring throws a 404 when I try to navigate to home from controller like above. If I remove the @RequestMapping(value="/",method = RequestMethod.GET)
it happily loads the home component.
What am I doing wrong here:
Do I need to give the exactly html name here or do I need to give the name in the router.
{path: 'home', component: HomeComponent} or home.component.html
